■ Color corrections

The TBC cleans up the jitter caused by

inaccuracies in head or tape rotation or due to

degradation of the analog video signal. (Available

only for analog input.)

Eliminates jitter

Motion adaptive 3D Y/C separator determines

whether the image is moving or starionary to

minimize unwanted noise or blurring. (Available only

for composite input in NTSC mode.)

Reduces color smearing and graininess

The image from a consumer analog video camera may

not have the optimal brightness. The AGC function

corrects this problem by automatically optimizing the

brightness. (available only for analog input.)

Corrects over-exposed whites or

under-exposed blacks

The VMC-1's image correction capabilities

(brightness, intensity, hue, contrast) minimizes

inconsistencies in the image and improve the

overall quality in real time.

Makes corrections for lack of color or

brightness

Whether you're outputting from your DV camera to copy tapes, or taking

your archive of videos and moving them over to a digital format, the VMC-1

will save you valuable time and ensure the utmost in quality in the transfer

through the real time controls available. The VMC-1 gives you up to 5 video

outputs (2 composite out, 2 S-

Video out, 1 DV out) in the

case of analog input. You can

make conversions while

monitoring the image, or the

VMC-1 can be used for

parallel conversion.

The VMC-1 provides a resolution of 10 bit for video decoding and encoding,

and 24 bit for audio AD/DA conversion. The VMC-1 can digitalize an old

analog video image at the best quality.

The VMC-1 provides real time color correction, TBC (Time Base Corrector),

Motion adaptive 3D Y/C separator (which compares the same scan lines of

the preceding and following frames to separate the brightness and color

signals with high precision) and AGC (Auto Gain Control).

The best way to convert all your videos to a digital format... and vice versa.

The VMC-1 is the best way to ensure quality video when

converting between analog and digital.

Makes corrections in real time while watching the image

(Available only for analog input.).

Support for many different applications. Up to 5 video

outputs available.

With the VMC-1, you can adjust brightness, color, hue, and contrast for the best picture quality. The VMC-1 is

also equipped with a 3D Y/C control and the built-in Time Base Corrector & Frame Synchronizer will ensure that

you never lose a frame of your video in the conversion process.
